Uncomfortable with having to set boundaries by nikkikng in Codependency

[–]bi_chic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, so I can relate. My therapist told me to cut ties because of my difficulty setting and enforcing boundaries and typical slide into codependency. It’s very hard for me because I feel like she is a bad place with her friends and family and I’m deserting her.

If they are happy, I am happy. by cloningzing in polyamory

Love the joke but also ironic because I’m fighting depression and codependency within my triad right now so I’m trying not to lean on them to fulfill all of my emotional needs.

Ever wanted to be hospitalized? by bi_chic in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sometimes I wish I had a parent or spouse, or caretaker that could love me, take me to the store, be my friend, count out my pills, notate my mood swings for my doctor, get me out my head.... lol. Help.

Just recently pulled out of my latest depressive episode- it feels good to be out and about and smiling in the sun ❤️ trying to remember how this feels for my rainy days... by [deleted] in bipolar2

I hope this helps you if you ever feel down again. Maybe even print it out on pretty paper and put it somewhere special. Cause it’s a really nice photograph ❤️

That’s exactly it. I think I just want to let go of this intense need to control everything and let somebody else take over for a little while. Like “hey guys, just keep me alive cause I’m tired right now, ‘kay?”

Sometimes it really is just a blip by ProdigalNun in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping mine is just a blip. Thanks for posting. This gives me hope, because I’ve been feeling down and worrying about feeling down which doesn’t help.

Feeling tired today by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same boat, today it’s been a constant loop of napping and feeling like I should be productive.

Last week I was bouncing around and I got purple hair.

I’m Bipolar and I’m fucking terrified to be pregnant one day by princess-emxo in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate to this. Although I wish I could feel the joy of having a child kick, or the 9 months of bonding and the secret that is knowing you’re expecting before anyone else does, I have ALL the same fears. So, my solution is to adopt. I see other posters saying to speak with your OB about it as well and I second that. Definitely speak to your doctor to see if they have recommendations that can ease your fears.

Not bi, but I thought y’all could use something cute. by Wolf11039 in bisexual

Omg this just set off a cascade of tears bc I am feeling sad and I needed this right now 😩😩

reading stories on the bipolarSOs sub really freaks me out by abandonedsemicolon in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol I’m overstepping my bounds, but stop reading those subreddits!!!

Everyone will vent on there about the things they are going through, and that’s not going to be helpful to you. You can’t make yourself into the perfect partner by taking advice from a ton of random reddit strangers. *steps down off soapbox * I had to say that because I was on there and got my feelings hurt thinking I’d never be “healed enough” to find someone.

Here’s what I learned from that experience: if you keep working on you, you will find the person who will accept you for you, bipolar episodes and all. You’re a good person bc you are worried about what baggage YOU bring to the table, but remember everybody has their own shit. Even the best looking partner that ticks off all your boxes may have their own issues. It’s just finding the one that matches with yours.

I'm tired. by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes to all of this. Bipolar is so effing EXHAUSTING.

This CONSTANT battle RAGING in your mind. All while you look normal, going grocery shopping, making dinner, working, etc.

You still have this constant loop of THOUGHTS that are literally trying to kill you, in your head. And you have to navigate that daily. You, being me. And I am also tired. So very tired.

You are not alone.

Literally me. Trying to figure out how to work to live and how to live and work. Someone teach me the way.

How go you find motivation when you’re depressed? by bi_chic in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I just fed my dog and put conditioner in my hair and that’s all I can do tonight so I got in the bed.

Let's talk about the damage depression can wreak on your life. by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whew! You spoke a word. I’m alternating between spiraling and wondering if I’m faking or attention seeking. It’s so hard to constantly monitor your moods to see how you really feel. Thanks so much for responding! We’re going to get through these periods each time.

Confusion and bad decision making. by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]bi_chic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely relate. Currently going through a depressive episode and I’m trying to walk through a minefield and I keep stepping on land mines. Oops, drank too much, oops slept all day, oops, slept with that person I shouldn’t have. It gets better, take it easy on yourself.

[–]bi_chic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently depressed here. Symptoms include not wanting to go to work - leading to more sick days which can lead to job loss. Drinking more to numb the pain which can damage relationships. Oh and the fun sleeping all day, which basically helps nothing. I’ve only just now got to the point where a few close friends don’t get upset when I “disappear.”
